If you ever feel nostalgic for a traditional haberdasher's take a trip to the newly refurbished Selvedge shop. Our range of drygoods - fine household linen, gifts and gorgeous threads from Sajou and Merchant and Mills - are all displayed in vintage cabinets and cases. Visit on the 10th December and the church hall across the road will be filled with 30 selected makers for our Christmas Fair! www.selvedge-drygoods.org |
| At Cockpit Arts 165 talented designers
lovingly make accessories, jewellery,
homeware and so much more. Each
piece has a story to be told and visitors
have a joyous time doing their Christmas
shopping. Come on in and see behind the
scenes... Cockpit Arts Holborn, Christmas
Open Studios, 25th November, 11am-9pm, 26 & 27th November, 11am-6pm, www.cockpitarts.com |

If you can't get to an event where
craftspeople are showing their work don't
fret - Folksy brings them together on one
convenient site and also offers supplies for
those who plan to make their own gifts this
year. Newly revamped Folksy feels like a
fresh alternative to the highstreet - we found
these decorative pull-along dogs from
Northfield Primitives. http://www.folksy.com |
| We have a weakness for pretty catalogues (Christmas shopping from the comfort of your bed is one of the perks of the 21st century) and spotting Selvedge tucked away in the pages of the latest Berry Red catalogue just added to the fun. Karon Hamilton's double fronted shop in Hereford is filled with treats and vintage gems, if you can't visit look online... www.berryred.co.uk |  |

For twenty three days starting on the
2nd of December Stroud has got a new
shop. Nothing but Navy, as the name
suggests will sell only navy products.
Hoping to colour-code the Christmas'
of Gloucestershire and beyond it will sell
carefully selected lifestyle goods
including home wares, garments,
stationery and accessories. Nothing but
Navy, 1 Middle Street, Stroud, GL5 1DZ, www.nothingbutnavyshop.com |
